Featured Case StudyFinancial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. This effort is not viewed by the IT administration as a one-time project but rather as a perpetual process of evaluating new technology in part on its energy efficiency and introducing it into the corporate data centers to replace aging systems as appropriate. |

Featured How-To Note |
Storage Virtualization Design and DeploymentA main impediment to storage virtualization is the lack of multiple storage vendor (heterogeneous) support within available virtualization technologies. This inhibits deployment across a data center. The only practical approach is either to implement a single vendor solution across the whole of the data center (practical only for small and some medium size data centers) or to implement virtualization in one or more of the largest storage pools within a data center. |
